WILL OF DAVID LISTER Probated March 22, 1831 Recorded in Will Book B Pages 114-115 Apt. 5 File No. 286 In the name of God, Amen. I, David Lister, of the district of Greenville and state of South Carolina, being old and weak of body, but of sound disposing mind and memory, thanks be given to the almighty for the same, do make this my last will and testament, and hereby revoking and entirely disannuling all other wills or testaments heretofore by me made. First, I recommend my soul to the hand of the Almighty who gave it, and my body to be buried in a plain decent manner at the discretion of my executors. It is also my desire to be buried by the side of my wife, and for my executors to have a decent inclosure placed around our graves. All of my estate, both real and personal, I dispose, devise, and bequeath in the following manner, Viz. As soon as convenient after my decease, I wish for all my personal estate, that is not hereinafter otherwise disposed of, sold on a credit of twelve months, and the money arising from the sale to be put to interest, for the purpose I shall hereinafter direct. Whereas my son John is and always has been in a state, both of mind and body, unfit to labor hard, or to transact business for himself. I therefore, wishing to make as suitable a provision for said John as is in my power, do make the following provision for him. It appears to be his desire to stay on my land after my decease, and it is my will that my executors procure some person of steady habits, and put on the plantation with him and leave, for the use of said John one bed and furniture, and one cow and calf, also I wish my negro woman Leatha to be left on the place to assist in making a support for him; the arrangement of the terms of getting the person, and what part said person is to have of what is made on the place, I leave to the discretion of my executors. And in case the business should not be conducted on the plantation, so as to keep said John in sufficient board and clothing, or should John have a wish to leave it, I wish my executors at their discretion to sell and convey my land, on a reasonable credit, also my negro woman Leatha, and the cow and the calf and increase before mentioned put to interest, with the money arising from the sale of my personal property before mentioned, and applyed as hereinafter directed. I do hereby appoint and nominate my son Simon Lister, guardian for my son John's person and property, and the interest arising from the money arising from all the sales before mentioned to be applyed toward clothing and boarding of said John, and should the interest not be sufficient for that purpose, as much of the principal must be yearly added to it as will be sufficient, the amount given yearly for his maintenance, I wish to be settled by three disinterested persons. The whole of the money arising from the sales before mentioned to remain in the hand of my son Simon Lister, in Trust for the use and purpose before mentioned, and what remaineth at the death of my son John to be equally devided among my children or their representatives, Thomas and Simon excepted, they having been provided for before this time. Should it be the wish of my son John to live with either of his brothers, except his brother Simon, I wish him to have his choice, and the yearly amount to be given(assessed as before mentioned) to be paid over to whom he chooses to live with, by Simon Lister his guardian. It is my desire that my executors, at their discretion, should leave some of my hogs on the place for the use of my son. John, as long as he stays on the place. Also to allow John to retain as his property, to do what he pleases with his horse and such working tools, etc., he has a claim to on the place. And whereas I have given to my son Thomas an instrument in writing confirming him in the title to my negro girl Kizah, at my decease; should that writing not be sufficient, I do hereby bequeth to him the said Thomas the said negro girl Kizah, to him and his heirs forever. At my decease, I wish the above named negro Kizah to remain on the place until my son Thomas comes for her, unless she wishes to be hired out. I do hereby nominate and appoint Zion Goodlett and my son Simon Lister executors of this my last will and testament. In witness wherof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 23rd day of July 1827. his David X Lister (L.S.) mark signed, sealed, declared and published by the above named David Lister, the testator, as and for his last will and testament.
